Noodle joyfully: Christine! You finally came back! I missed you so much!
Kim: Welcome home!
Noodle: We wanted to visit you, but Logan didn’t let us.
Kim: And we tried to contact you on your cell phone, but we couldn’t reach you.
Chris: He took away my phone.
Noodle: And where is he now?
Chis: He has just dropped me off and went to the office. Busy as always.
Kim: Are you hungry? Maybe you want eat something?
Chris: No, thanks. Logan was overfeeding me.
Noodle: What? There will be nothing to eat?
Kim: There are some chips.
Noodle: There was supposed to be a cake!
Kim pissed off: I just came back from work and I didn’t make it… Besides, cake was supposed to be for Christine, not for you!
Noodle: But she would share with us…
Kim: You came here to stow away or greet her?
Chris: Hey, stop arguing! We can order a pizza!
Noodle: Yay! But with a lot of ingredients!
Chris: Ok, just go and order what you want.
Kim: How can you put up with him?
Chris only shrugged without a word. 
Kim: I’m glad you’re finally here.

A few days later Logan took her to the studio.
Logan: Are you gonna be okay?
Chris: Yes. 
Logan: Sorry that I can’t stay at your welcome party.
Chris: Logan, you misunderstand the meaning of ‘party’. There will be only three people. Just go to your company, if you have to.
Logan: I’ll call you later.
Chris: Ok.
Logan: We will see each other tomorrow at the rehearsal.
Chris: Yes, just go now. 
Logan:…
Chris: Go! I swear I’ll be ok!
He got into his car and drove off with a screech of tires.
Chris whispering: Geez, he’s acting like my nanny.

Chris has been in the hospital for a few days. She was slowly getting better.
Chris: Logan! You can’t keep me here for ages! I want to leave now! 
Logan: Doctor said that you need to rest. Here, at least, I can keep an eye on you. 
Chris: I told you before, I didn’t try to kill myself! I was drunk! I lost consciousness when I walked into the water.
Logan: Right… After all that had happened I am to believe that you just went for a swim? If I hadn’t arrived in time, you would probably still be lying on the bottom of the lake. Understand that this must not happen again!
Chris sarcastically: Will you let me go, if I promise to stay away from big water reservoirs?
Logan: I want to hear that this will never happen again! And you will go on therapy.
Chris: Therapy? I’m not a freak!
Logan: You need this! I have arranged everything. Your first appointment is today.
Chris: Without consulting me? No way!
Logan: Then you’ll stay here!
Chris: You are stubborn as always!
Logan: So are you. Otherwise, I’ll cancel our concert. You are not ready for it.
Chris: No! I’ll go on therapy, but please don’t cancel the performance.
Logan: I don’t want you take on too much.
Chris: Please, Logan… This is important to me.
Logan, after a moment of hesitation: Ok, but remember that we can call it off anytime.
Chris smiling: It will not be necessary.
Logan: I hope so.
Chris: And now… Can I get back my phone?

Chris: You won’t even ask?
Logan: I don’t need to know.
Chris: I’ve always liked that about you… You don’t inquire… You take things as they are.
Logan: This belongs to the past, Christine. You have to move on.
Chris: I can’t… I tried, but it didn’t work for me.
Logan: That is why I’m here, to help you.
Chris: I could always count on you… You are a good friend.
Logan: And nothing’s gonna change this.
Chris: I’ve messed up Logan… I am lost in life.
Logan: I know.
Chris: I’ve been doing everything wrong.
Logan: Don’t think about it now. You have to rest.
Chris: Yes… Now I can sleep.
Logan: Lay down.
Chris: Will you be with me, when I wake up?
Logan: Yes.

Logan returned from the meeting.
Logan: Chris?
She was lying with her back toward him, but he saw that she wasn’t sleeping. She was crying.
Logan: Christine?
She couldn’t stop crying.
Logan: Christine… 
Chris choking: I didn’t want you to see me like that.
Logan: It’s ok… You don’t have to be fake with me.
Chris: I know.
Logan: I’ll help you. I regret I didn’t before… I didn’t take care of you when Dexter left you… I was angry… because I couldn’t watch you suffer.
Chris: No, no … Logan…. Please… don’t say that.
Logan: I knew it was a hard time for you… and I didn’t do anything.
Chris sobbing: Oh Logan… I’m so sorry… for everything.
Logan: No, don’t apologize to me. I’ll take care of you now… I promise.
She started crying even more.
Chris choking: Then… hold me, Logan.
He hugged her. She leaned her forehead against his chest and struggled to get her tears under control. He felt his shirt getting wet. He was hiding from this so many times. He didn’t know what to do so he was waiting patiently, fighting his emotions.
